Lord HOLLAND said that the only observation which he had made when his Noble Friend (Lord Radnor) was speaking was in reference to what his Noble friend had stated as to the Vice- Chancellor • being both judge and jtiry, he ( Lord Holland) adding, " and executioner also." This was the only remark which he made. He assured the House he meant to cast no censure whatever upon the -Uni versity. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that the Noble Lord waas the last person who ought to hive joined the Noble Earl in his attack on the Ministers. Lord BROUGHANI was surprised to hear that a law, which {Jai been repealed everywhere else—he was surprised to hear that an unpublished libel might still b' made the sub ject of pro.ecution in the University of Oxford. He wished to nik if this was the . law in Cambridge also ? He could not uo quite along with the Noble Duke in g;ving power to the University to do it hatever they plemed, even to net upon a law of their own, in opposition of the law of the :and. Die Duke of WELLINGTON said, th►t if tle laws of the liiiiverzity mete contrary to the laws of the land they eoithl not he enforced. All this discussion showed the inu tility of discussing a subject bit by bit, or of discussing the corners, instead of taking the %%hole matter into consider- ation. Lord BROUGHAM was aware that the statutes of the University could not overrule the law of the land ; but though contrary thereto, they might still be acted upon for the pur. poses of discipline. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said he had never heard of such a law as that described in the University of Cam bridge, and he was surprised to hear it said in the House of Lords that Oxford had brought upon itself great discredit and disgrace by C) pelting the illustrious philosopher Locke upon a similar charge. The fact was, that the University had no thing to do with his expulsion. H was deprived of the Stu dentship of Christchurch by the Oart - of Sunderland, who held subsequently a correspondence with Bishop Fell, which ulti mately led to the expulsion of Locke from the University by the Crown, and by no other authority whatever. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. Viscount MELBOURNE said it was understood that the Right Reverend Prelate (the Archbishop of Canterbury) was to have precedence that evening with the Benefices Pluralities but, as the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill had been before the }louse on two former occasions, and as he had reason to think that there would not arise the same difference of opinion as on former occasions, he would suggest that the Bill should he read a second time sub silentio, and that the de bate should bo taken on going into Committee. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was not his inten tion to oppose the second reading, as the arneedments requisite to make the Bill more conformable with the wants of Ireland might be made in Committee. The Earl of RODEN said it was impossible for him to agree to the second reading of the Bill without distinctly stating his total dissent from the measure. It was, he was aware, inconvenient that he should at that moment state his reasons, but it would be inconsistent on his part if he allowed the Bill to be read a second time to which lie was formerly opposed in principle, in common with Noble Lords near him, for whose change of opinion he could perceive no ar guments whatever. The Bill was then read a second time. Oa the motion that it be committed on Thursday, Lord BROUGHAM said, if there was any likelihood that some agreement could be come to so as to allow the Bill to pass, lie might be d:sposed to give way on his motion, which stood fur Thursday, but, otherwise, he was so pledged to that motion that he should nothke to postpone it. Viscount MELBOURNE said the Noble and Learned Lord must be aware, with reference to the great object in view, how much more important it was that he should postpone his motion than that this Bill should be endangered. Lord BROUGHAM was aware of that, and in giving way to it be wished it to be distinctly understood, both in doors and out of doors, that he only gave way, and with much regret, to this Bill, and he would, therefore, postpone his motion respect ing the West India Apprenticeships until Monday next. The Committee on the Corporations Bill was then fixed for Thursday next. KING OF OUDE Lord BROUGHAM wished to ask the Noble Lord at the bead of the Colonial Department, who was then at the head of the Board of Control, if the proceeding of planting the third son on the throne of Oude in preference to the second son was by the order of the Government at home, or whether it was authorised by the Governor-General ex mero motif? Lord G LENE LG said he was unable to answer the question. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to know if the appoint ment was conditional that the new sovereign should accede to the payment of money claimed by certain British subjects? Lord GLENELG gave no reply. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Prisons Juveoile Offenders 13111 and the International Copyright Bill were read a second time, awl ordered to be committed on Tuesday se'nniEht. BENEFICES PLURALITIES BILL. Lord% [ME RIC K objected to going into the Irish Poll.- law Bill at a late hour, when they would be necessarily . `fatigued after tire discussion of the Benefices Pluralities Bill, and tooved that the debate on the Poor.law Bill should be resumeti. - ----------- - • • The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he would not detain their Lordships long upon this Bill, as there were so many amend►nents that it could not be discussed with advan tage until it was reprinted. The Bi3hop of LONDON said some of his Right Rev. Friends felt it their duty to return immediately to their dio ceses ; and as they objected to one clause only, they proposed to take the opinion of the House upon that clause, and to pro ceed no further witl► the discussion. After a most desultory conversati.:n as to which Bill should take precedence, the Benefices Pluralities Bill being the first Order of the Day, The Earl of LIMERICK withdrew hi:: motion, and their Lordships then resolved themselves into Committee on the Bill. On the motion that the third clause be agreed to. The Bishop of ROCHESTER, in a voice scarcely audible, tnt►ved that the clause be omitted, as being hard on the clergy, wia - mut any corresponding advantage. Lvrd WYNFORD moved an amendment to the clause, to the eh et that no clergyman should hold any cathedral pre ferment in conjunction with his own, the combined value of which was over 1,5001. a year. The Bishop of It said the amendment did not meet his views at all. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER said the object of the Bill WAS to limit pluralities, and to encourage residence in benefices, but this clause would tend to neither one nor the other. It only said that they should not exceed a certain sum —that if the benefice exceeded I,OOOL they should take no cathedral preferment beyond 5001. H.!. wai at a loss to know Ghat reason there could be for this. Lord WYN FORD suggested that the clause ought to be amended, as far as it was susceptible of amendments. The Bishop of S ALISBURY opposed the clause, and said he entirely concurred in the objections against it by his Right Rev. Friends. - - The Bishop of LONDON spoke briefly to the same effect, and said that the clause did not touch the principle of plurali ties, nor secure equality, which was the great piiint. After a few words from Lord PORTMAN the clause was struck out. The House then resumed, and, the report beirg received certain amendments. proposed by the Archbi+hop uf Canter bury, were order. .d to be printed. IRISH POOR-LAW BILL. On the motion tl.at this Bill do pass, The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that, with all the amendments which the Bill had undergone, he still thought that it was now worse than beim e. tie would con tent himself with moving, as an amendment, that the Bill be rejected The Earl of LIMERICK opposed the Bill. The Marquis of CLAN RICARDE made various objee tiouslo the measure. and contended that it could neve- stork to the satislac:ion of the people of Ireland. One most mis chievocus effect likely to result from it was, that it would put a stop to all national improvement for years after it passed. The Earl of MO NTC ASII E I, felt persu Wed that the Bill would have the effect of introducing tehelli ~,, and revo lution into. the country. Not only would all the Roman Ca, °tubes. with the pr,ests at their head, be opposed to it, but alto all the Protestants of every rank in the country. Lord BROUGHAM said that the new system of Poor laws in England was opposed only by those who were too lazy to other classes were highly favourable to it. But was that the system now proposed fur Ireland ? Nothing of the kind, for there was something in the natural temperament of the Irish character to prevent it. The poople of Ireland would be h an d e d as one man to mar the execution of the mea. sure. God help the man who was to proceed to Dublin to rs-pnresent the B oar d t h ere.

Th e p eo ple of Ireland wer e on all occ asio ns difficult to be persuaded, but they were now les s lik ely to come round, knosvi; ig that they were right. The woikhouse would he rejecte I by tt.e patipei in Ireland, as it had been n jected by the pauper here. Even if the pauper could be induced to enter the workhouse, it would not be two months that his tenancy would continue. It was said that there was to be no out-doer relief. He believed nothing of the kind. He did not see how it was possible, as long as men were men, be they guar dians or paid officers, covering the land, that they could resist those feelings of natural kindness by which they would be compelled to break through the principle of the Bill. He had alluded to the state of Ireland, and to the evidence of the ex treme hatred which was borne to this measure. He confessed that it was a subject upon which he was distrustful of informa tion ; for with what confidence was it one day said that Ire land was tranquil, and the next that tide truth was diametri cally the reverse? Their Lordships were at one time led to believe that there never had been tranquillity so complete as reigned over the kingdom of Ireland during the administration of the present chief governor—how loudly were his praises sung forth by eloquent tongues out of doors ! But the evidence en the subject of the Poor-law was the only evidence in which there appeared to be no doubt or discrepancy, for what was Lis astonishment when he received the following letter, which he could hardly believe his eyes when lie read :—" I am quite disheartened and disgusted with the present state of the country ; I am astonished at the change I observe since I was last here, and if I were to designate it, I should say it had become an organised association of dangerous assassins, against whose outrages the law. was perfectly powerless. It is wonderful that the majority of persons should indulge in idle dreams of pacifying Ireland by a Poor-law Bill. If they were to add a Municipal Bill to that, and to the Municipal Bill a Bill for the total abolition of tithes, it would not have the slightest effect. You can scarcely be aware of the dreadful state of this formerly well-con ducted and peaceful country. The fact is that no man's life is worth a year's purchase, and the reign of terror is established. Yesterday —,.... was attacked in the middle of the day, in a mail coach, and so' cruelly and bar. barously beaten, that his life is despaired of, his arm was broken, and his skull fractured." He admitted that nothing could be more absurd than to argue upon letters, but if he were to disbelieve this and other letters,—if he were to say that Ireland was tranquil, he should run foul of O'Connell, from whom the admission was wrung and extorted by the overwhelming evidence of facts, that " Ireland, never since he knew it, was in a dangerous state." This was a most awful state of things. Was it prudent, when the country was in such a state, to apply such remedies as this arid other Bills? He had always been of opinion that one mode of governing Ireland was to govern it the same as Yorkshire or Scotland— to have no Viceroy in Ireland. If he erred on that point, he erred with the greatest authorities of past tines; be erred with the authors of the Irish Union—with Lord Gren ville and Mr. Pitt, as he had good reason to know—he erred in company with those of their followers, whom many of their Lordships could trust more than he was disposed— he erred with Lord Liverpool, who had matured a plan for abolishing the Lord Lieutenancy—he erred with other names, whose merits on Irish questions could not be concealed—with Mr. Grattan and his coadjutors—he erred with one who had resolved during his vice royalty, that Catho lic and Protestant should in all respects, as far as the law al lowed, be treated on an equal footing—he erred with Lord Wellesley, arid he also erred with another of the greatest and the best governors of Ireland, who held with a firm but gentle hand the balance between the sects intrusted to his care, he meant the Marquis of Anglesey. These authorities were all of opinion that it was necessary to consolidate the union by abolishing the Lord Lieutenancy. But he had no hesitation in saying that until provision were made for the Roman Ca tholic priests of Ireland, every other thing that might be dune, be it in Church or State, would be entirely labour in vain—it would lead to nothing but disappointment. He should enter his sincere, his solemn, his conscientious, although unavailing protest againt the Bill. Viscount MELBOURNE observed that if the Noble and Learned Lord thought it fruitless to enter into arguments against the Bill, he, for his part, much more felt himself re -1 eyed from:the nee:ssity of addressing their Lordships at any length on a Bill which had been so often argued. The per. wading topic of the Noble Lord's speech wes the extreme unpopularity of the Bill—the utter detestation of it which, he said, prevailed amongst all classes of the community. He (Lord M.) knew that there had been a great many petitions presented against this Bill from that part of the country to which it was intended to be applied. He knew that there had been many speeches against it both in this and the other House of Parliament ; but he doubted whether there was that repugnance and opposition to the Bill which justified the re presentations of the Noble and Learned Lord. He doubted whether it had (been sufficiently explained to the poor, and whether, it it had been explained, they would have enter tained the opinions they were represented to hold. It should be remembered that there had been as much outcry against the English Bill as there was against this Bill. Some measure of relief from existing evils was absolutely called for. This measure had been pointed out, and put forward as one calculated to remedy t.) a very great extent the evils complained of'. It was founded on principles of hu. manly, though the necessity of the case required that it should be, i.. some respects. a stringent measure. It was pr.setited to their LordshiPs in the best shape which its framers could devise, and their Lordships had proceeded with it thus far upon the supposition that it would be a measure of relief. Were they to stop short now, at the very moment when the measure approached completion, they would deprive the people of Ireland of a great advantage which they might reasonably expect to derive from it.—( Hear.) That a Bill which pro mised to do so much good would be received with general execration throughout Ireland, because it would impose an additional tax or. the landlords, he could not believe The Bill would induce habits of order and independence, by giving means of relief other than those of private charity. It would lead to the discouragement of beggary and vagrancy, without encroaching on or %itiating those charitable feelings which were characteristic of the people of Ireland. He knew, on the other hand, that there were many serious arguments against the Bill. Some said that Ireland was too poor to sup port a Poor-law Bill. Some said the rate could not be raised ; others said it would not be rased. He admitted there was much in these objections, but he, nevertheless, did not forget that the advantages expected from the 13:11 quite justified the risk ea s o run by e the Legislature in disregarding them. F or th ese n urged them to pass the Bill. . reasons h Lord BROUGHAM explained. Lord PLUNK ET •thought they were bound to se:zo every opportunity of alleviating the miseries of the people, and this Bill had his eordiallsupport, because he thought it would pro duce those results. He believed, notwithstanding all thlt had recently been said, that Ireland was in a state of tranquillity. Many allegations bad been made to the contrary, but none had been brought forward in a tangible and specific shope. The Earl of RODEN said, the 8.11 was an unjust one, and could not prosper. He had spoken against it, he had voted against it, and he should certainly make use of his privilege as a peer, and protest against it. The Earl of GL ENG AL L denied that the noble mid learned Lord was justified in asserting that Ireland was in a state of tranquillity. In 1836 the number of crimes corn. mitted in Ireland was 23,000. In 1937 they amounted to 9 6.500, and the increase was remarkable in those three great crimes which were usually committed in Ireland. In two years the sum of 13,000/. was ()tiered in rewards, but the sum of 500/. only was claimed. File hundred and twenty-one rewards were offered in the time, and 19 only were claimed So much for the boasted tranquillity of Ireland in 1836 and 1837. After a few wor , /s flint Lord GORT, The LORD Cll ANCELLOR put the question that the Bill do pas!. Their Lordsh'pl then divided, when there appeared— CONTENTS.

SAM SLICK'S SAYINGS AND DOINGS, SECOND 1 SEurEs.—The Second Series of " Te e Clockmaker," a work which, on the appearace of the first volume, was pronounced to be one of those genuinely original Works which carry their own letter of recommenda tion, and are everywhere i elished, is announced for immediate publica tion. " Our old acquaintance, Sam Slick," (says the ilthemeunt, in no. tieing the Second Series,) " is still remarkable for shrewd observation, common sense, and odd quaint humour, though his introduction to, and hcarty reception in, London, has we observe, bad its influences on his opinions." Sam Slick in thearoice and ireatment of the subjects in this new series has been very t rt.er . : { theyfirrin the most curious com ,iound ofdroll. ry, sage at Ice, mos reflections, and quaint remarks, :hat it has ever been our lot to see.

On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone e.try, the death of Mr. Greenwell, the vestry clerk, was announced ; ,nd Mr. Flood, who had been acting for sometime as his substitute, was Jnanimeusly appointed to the vacant office at a salary of 5001. a year, with an allowance of 100/, for a clerk to assist Wm. . THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1838. LAW fNTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, JULY 9. ROTHSCHILD V. CURRIE. This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of ex change of which the defendant was the payee, th e acceptin being a merchant residing and carrying on bu s i ness at P ar i s. The plaintiff purchased the bill in the ordinary course of busi ness, and was holder for a valuable consideration. Th e hill became due on a Saturday, and was presenttd at Paris on that day. It was dishonoured. The Monday was the fete of Louis Philippe, and business was only transactel up to twelve o'clock in the morning. By the law of France a bill must be protested and registered in order to secure the rights of the holder over all the parties whose names are upon the instrument. The protestation for non-payment and the registration are in th.it respect equivalent to the notice which by the law of England must be giv en b y a h o ld er to all the parties of whose liability lie intends t o ava il hi mse l f. The Bill in this case was not protested an d reg i stered till Tuesday, and notice did not reach this country till Friday. The defence was, that there had beel negligence in giviaig notice, and that in eonsequence of such negligence ail the parties to the bill but the acceptor were discharged. A verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to a motion in the Court above to set aside the verdict, if the Court should be of opinion that the English law ought to prevail, or that the custom as to the notice on foreign bills had not been made out. ( Before a Common Jury.) COOKE V. ELIZABTTH WALKER. This was an action to recover the amount of three promis sory notes .given by the defendant. The first dated on the 7th of December, 1835, for 2901., payable on demand ; the second on the 17th of December, 1835, for 1001, payable on demand ; and a third on the same day for 501 , payable three mind's after date. The defendant p!eaded that she had rive❑ the two first notes for the use and accommodation of the plain tiff, and she paid the amount of the third note into Court. The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOMST.REET. Henry Brothers was yesterday brought before Sir FREDE hICK ROE charged on suspicion of stealing from the Port office at Chatham, in which he was employed as clerk, tw o letters, one of which contained a bill of exchange for 131. Is., a check fur 601., and a Si. Bank note ; and the other letter contained five 51. Bank of England notes. The prisoner ab sconded on the 18th of April last, and a reward of 1001. was immediately otfei ed for his app re h ens i on b y t h e P ost - o ffi ce au thorities. He was ordered to be brought up again on Tues day next. HAT7'ON-GARDEN. Yesterday William Blaxland Rogers was place 1 at the bar before Mr. BENETT, charged by John Davidson, of the Lou don-road, Kingston-on-Thames, with having fraudulently ob tained from him 71., under the false representation that ho was a solicitor. The prosecutor, October, 1837, in consequence of an adver tisement in the newspaper, was induced to call upon the pri soner, who was represented as a solicitor, residing at No. 10, Jewin-court, Jewin-street, City. He had an interview with him, when he (the prisoner) agreed to have a bill filed in the Court of Chancery, forma pauperis, to recover some property upon which he had a claim at Dorking, in Surrey, also five snares, at f 25/. each, in the Grand Stand at Epsom. On hearing the particulars, the prisoner said that he had suffi cient and just grounds to file a bill in a Court of Equity, and he would undertake the matter for 101., on which he (witness) advanced him 7/. on account, for which he wrote a receipt (now produced), but he had neglected to perform the con tract, and witness had discovered that he was not an at.orney, and that he had been defrauded. William Roharts, Esq., Deputy Record keeper to the Court of Chancery, had searched from 1837 for the cause of John Davidson, for a suit against Flatman and others, and he had found that no such bill had been filed. Edward Chitty, Esq., barrister, of 44, Sergeant's Inn, stated that at the beginning of 1837 the prisoner called at his chambers in the usual way of business with instructions to prepare ,pleadings in equity for Mr. Pepper, a solicitor. He ( Mr. Chitty) received the instructions personally from the prisoner, and the name of " Pepper at the suit of Dayidron," was at the bottom. Mr. Pi pper, solicitor, of No. 2, Brewer-street, Islington, stated that the prisoner in the spring of 1836 was his clerk, and he remained with him until last May twelvemonth. Mr. BENETT is: he ever been an attorney Mr. Pepper—l never knew him to be so, and I believe he never ais been. Mr. BENETT—Did you ever authorize him to give instruc- tions to Mr. Chitty, or to perform for you? Never. I know nothing about the transaction. M. Pepper— Mr. BENEFT inquired whether any evidence could be pro duced to show that he was not an attorney ? Mr. ROBINSON replied that the onus rested with the prisoner himself to prove that fact. Mr. lIENETT, after a lengthened disen . ssitn on the point, said it required some consideration, and he would require time to look into the book, and he remanded the prisoner for that purpoSe, with directions that Mr. Chitty and Mr. Roberts, and other witnesses, should be in attendance at the next ex amination. The prisoner already stands fully committed for trial on a charge of having forged two bills of acceptance for .50/. each, and another charge of fraud. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A well-looking woman, whose real name is Atce Tr gg, but aho assumes the name of Saunders, Anderson, Somers, and many others, was brought before Mr. Conant, charged by the Mendieity Society with obtaining money under fraudu lent preteneei The MAGISTRATE remanded the prisoner till this day (Tuesday). MARYLEBONE. Yesterday John Larbarte, butler to Lord Sheffield, No. 20, Portland-place, and two women named Mary Ann Ald ridge and Jane Murray, were placed at the bar before Messrs. Rawlinson and Hoskins. _ Police constable Cole, E 32, about two o'clock that morn- ing was passing on duty down Portland-place, when he saw the male prisoner and Aldridge coming along, and both go down the inea of Lord Sheffield's house. Thinking the cir cumstance rather an unusual one at that early hour of the morning, he communicated it to a constable of the D divi sion, and while doing so the prisoner Murray came out of the area gate, and went away. Witness followed her and brought her back, when she denied having been in the house at that iaoment. Larbarte and Aldridge came up the area steps, the gate being closed, and on witness questioning the male pri soner, he said he knew nothing of Murray—but • Aldridge was a friend of his. This assertion Aldridge, wh o seemed very frightened, at once denied, saying that she had met him as a stranger, and he invited her home to supper. Both prisoners then went into the house again, when witness rang the door bell, which was in a few minutes answered by the male prisoner in another dress, who, in answer to questions put, said that he was Lord Sheffield, and Aldridge his ser vant. This, however, was contradicted by the housekeeper, and all three prisoners were conveyed to the statian house. Police constable Chapman, 1) 126, was told by the last witness of some woman going into Lord Sheffield's house with the butler; he went over, and on the door being opened by the male prisoner, who bad aseutut d another dress, witness said, " I want to see the master of the house." "I am the master," r: plied the prisoner. " Then you are Lord Shef field." '• lam his Lordship," said the prisoner. To which witness remarked (well knowing it was the butler he was talking to), " I doubt it." " Impudent fellow," exclaimed the prisoner; and at the same time, seizing him by the collar, he said, " I was at Marshal Seult's last night, and there saw your superintendent and inspector, both of whom I know, and to whom I shall report your conduct." Just then the housekeeper, who had been alarmel by the ringing of the bell, came down, when &ie. disclaimed all knowledge of the prisoner Aldridge ; and, desiring her to walk out, called the crest-fallen butler a perfidious wretch. The three prisoners were then removed in custody. Mr. RAwi.trisoN—Well, Mr. Latbirte (for I suppose you don't mean to say you are Lord Sheffield), now what answer do you mike to the eh irge? Prisoner—l only sail I acted as his Lordship when he was away. I know nothing of this woman, Mu. ray, and was standing near the gate when Ald ridge passed, which having done, and walked a fe.v yards, I heard her say, at the same time leaning against the area rail ings, "Oh for a glass of water." I immediately went up, and volunteered, out of pure humanity, to give her the required beverage if she would go with me into the house. This she consented to do, and having partially recovered, I was about to come out with her to see her a little way home, when we were stopped by the policeman. His Lordship and family were out of town. Mr. RAWLINSON—WeII, you are the person most to blame ; and, for assaulting the policeman (which is the only way you can be dealt with), you are fined• 50 , . The women are dis charged, but they had better be more cautious in future. ERRATUM._Seventeen shillings should be substi tilted for nineteen shillings in our paper of Saturday, as the tax per cwt. which the sugar bounty levies on the poor inan's treacle. CAPTAIN SPENCER'S NEW TRAVELS IN TIIE WESTERN CAUCASUS, eic.—The public are already largely indebted to Mr. Spencer for the new and valuab!e information contained in his former volumes on Circassia, of which the work before us, enriched with much useful historical matter, and traversing some of the most interesting countries on the route by the Bl.ck Sea to Constantinople, and from thence to Vienna, may be considered a continuation. The main attrac tion, as well as the chief value, of this work, will he found in the broad and steady light it throws upon the wars of Russia in the mountain halls of the Caucasus. The peopleof this country require to be fully informed upon three points before they can be aroased to that degree of teal on behalf of the Caucasian f milies , short of which a demonstration of Eng lish feeling, sufficiently strong to cheek the progress of Russian despotisin in that quarter, cannot be anticipated. These three points are T he history, character, and habits of the people of Circassia.-2. The alight of the claims of the Russians upon the districts of the ‘Vestern Caucasus, and the base and cruel way in which those unfounded claims have year after year been attempted t t be enforced.—And 3 The advantages which would accrue to this country from a commercial alliance with Circassia. Upon all these points Mr. Spencer furnishes information both specific and authentic, and we earnestly recommend the perusal of his work to every person who desires to obtain an accurate view of the real state of those interesting tribes, and of the monstrous aggressions and grasping policy of the Mitscovites.—Athrs. THE BEER-SHOPS.—The keepers of beer -shops have, under the sanction of the legislature, einarked their little capital in this new line of busines, many of them borrowed money to enable them 'e tand it is th e h e i g h t o f crue l ty and i n j ust i ce by s u ch a measure to i t l ies f t e mist their capit a l , d epr i ve t h em, as many of t h em ust b starti life, deprived, of the very means of subsistence. At all events, the beer-shop keepers have quite as good a claim of right to compensation as the slave proprietors, and a much bett,r claim of sympathy.—.6"6lol Gazelle. CoURT CIRCULAR.

LAMBETH amEN's REGATTA. —The very pretty annual contest amongst the fishermen of Lambeth took place yesterday. Of all classes on the Thames there are, perhaps, no men inure ne cessitous and deserving, and there is a peculiarity in this match which is sue at al! times to claim particular notice, and draw a large attendance. The men row in Peter boats, a thing only seen once during the season, and strangely enough they contrast with the wag er shells call e d wherries, many of whi c h, comp l ete d , d o not exceed 801 b. in weight. Th., contest was with eight pairs of oars in three heats, an'l the distance, to start from the Duke's Head Wharf, Lower Fore-street. round Vauxhall-bridge, down the Sur rey shore, round a boat moored off Hungerford-market, up t o th e buoys moored off the Duke's Head, to finish each heat.

In the grand heat, which was started at half-past six, yellow was first in advance, but were soon outro ved 1y black, whu tuaintaincd their advantage, and won by a few le'ngths.

THE Civi c GRAND BANQUET. - -It has b een sTuroueketlidtiels,eAC.llle.vdatl:eNrilateeedbeoll,° Baron settled that the number of guests shall be !united to 600, with due care that the entertainment shall not partake in the least degr,T of a political cast. With this view an equal number of Conservative and Ministerial m embers h a ve been invited—namely, 15 Peers an d 17 Commoners of each party. The list of guests include ne a rly all the distinguish e d G ene rals who ser ved with the Duke of Wellington. There has be e n some difficulty in fixing the day for the banquet. At first Lord Palmer ston unadvisedly named the 10th, but when that day was mentioned to Marshal S , eslt, he immediately said lie had invited the Duke of Welling ton, whom he had of en wet ill the 11l I, to meet him again at she table on the loth, and he could not suffer that arrangement to be interrupted. The 1 th was then named, but it turned out that the Duchess of North umberland had issued cards fur a grand entertainment to the illustrious foreigners now in London, and her Grace refus e d to postpone or change the day. On the 12th her Majesty will give a grand entertainment, and it w as useless to think of that day ; but the 13th was at last fixed en, with the hope that Sir Robert Peel will postpone his grand banquet, for w hich that day had been named. The guests at the City BaLquet are to w ear full Court dresses. BRUSSELS, JULY s.—His Majesty Louis Philippe h aving expressed to our Government a wish to have for the Museum of the Fine Arts at Paris plastered casts of the magnificent monument of Charles and Mary of Burgandy, as well as of the beautiful thathic chimney piece of the Bourg at Bruges, our Government, as may be sup. posed, readily acceded to this wish, and allowed two moulders sent from Paris to do everything necessary to fulfil this wish. They have already fully succeeded in taking the mould of the tomb of Duke Charles. All the details of that admirable piece of sculpture are reproduced with rare precisioh and microscopic minuteness. CARLSBAD, JUNE 24.—Baron Falck, Minister of State of the King of the Netherland;, who was one of the members of the London Conference, has teen here for some days past. As a cir cumstance which is hitherto without a parallel, it deserves mention, that an Englishman has come direct from Bombay, by way of Egypt, Constantinople, and Vienna, to restore his shattered constitution by the waters of Carlsbad.

Th e crew were all saved by the Nereide frigate, up to which the brig was fortunately worked after 30 hours' perilous navigation.

The sessions commenced this morning at the Old 13a;ley at ten o'clock, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Al derman Kelly, Sir G. Marshall, the Sheriffs, and other authorities. The RECORDER briefly addressed the Grand Jury, directing their attention to a case of murder, anotiler of arson, and two of manslaughter; stating, however, that he did not anticipate that they could experience any difficulty in the course of their investigation. The other cases were. generally speakirg, of a trifling nature, and did not require comment. The calendar contains the names of 99 prisoners ; and be fore the end of the session, the probability is that it will ex tend to upwards of 120. The whole of the morning was occupied in calling over tie names of the Jury, and other formal matters. GRAND CIVIC EN TERTA NINIENT TO THE FOREIGN AMBASSADORS.

The Foreign Ambassadors and the members of her Ma jesty's Government are to go in state to the Guildhall, as they ' appeared on the day of the Queen's Coronation, and the ap plications for tickets, from the mast distinguished people in this country, have been as numerous as they were when her Majesty accepted the invitation, which she has since frequently alluded to in terms wltich proved that she was highly gratified at the exertions of her citizens of London to pleas e her. ACCIDENTS AT THE REVIEW. - 'Sneral accidents occurred yesterday during t'-e Tr.iew, in coosvquence of foe culpable practice of persons ascending trees for the purpose of sec ing the maeceuvres of the m4itary. I.t the deer-park one tree bruit° within two feet of the ground, ai.d came dowit with a tremcndeus mach. There were at the time a great many persons on the differePt branches, while there were also several persons sheltering themselves under it. Fortunately the nein of the fracture gave time to those sitting ' down to make their escape, with the exception of a woman who had an Vent in her arms, both of %thorn met with some slight Lru!ses. At a short distance from this, in the absence or tne police, a few blackguards amused themselves by slink . ing a large bot.th, cn which were about a dozen people. They eventually broke it, then the whole were precipi.. tart-d to the g•ound. A rush took place to the spot in orer to save the persons, who screamed violently for assistance. Fortunaielv they were rescued, having received very severe ijuries. Shuttly after so:::e policemen came up, t.ho took the fellows into custody who had been the cause of the acei dont. In each or Cie above c,:ses both the tree - and the bough were imomdiately occupied by per sons , w h o h a d a b etter op. iu.rtuni t y o f viewing- the mannouvres. Another r ccidcnt, but of a more serious etiereeter, took place at the north of the lino bear Cumberlond-gwe. On a very large bough vere ten persons whai it broke. At the time a great twiny persons were under it. The shrieks. re hin , from the disaster were frightful. 'Several persons, assisted by the police, mu to the spot to rescue the unfortun..ite individuals. When the branch 'a removed it was found that two persons were in a state of insrusibility, and at first it was feared they wer e d ea d . S ome gettleinen, however, being at hand, and, haviug their gurgical instruments with them, promptly bled, the two. In a few minutes they were recovered sufficiently to be able to walk away. Some of the others were very much bruised and had their clothes torn, but they were able with assistance to leave the ground. cfatal. acciaent occurred to a man of the name of Joseph Nl^lonev, who fell from the roof of the bowie No. I, Claren don-place, Bayswater-road. The height he fell was about seventy feet. The unfcrtunate man was a plumber's labourer, and was in the act of raisi:,g himself by a chimney, when he missed his held. II was frightfully crushed ; when taken up the lire did not appear quite extinct.

This was an ejectment brought to recover a farm called Battle Farm, which had been a part of the estates of Sir Francis Knollys, Bart., of Fern Hill, near Windsor, Mr. Sergeant Ludlow appeared for the claimant ; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for the defendant. It appeared that Sir Francis Knollys, Bart., in 1773, made his will, by which he devised his estates to Lady Knollys for life. and upnn her decease to whoever was his heir. at-law. At the time of his death Lady Knollys survived him, and died in 1795, when advertise ments were published, calling on p...rsons to prove them selves the heirs of Sir Francis, upon which Mr. Francis We!dale claimed the estates in right of his mother, who had been Miss Fiances Letitia Mayes, and was one of the co-heiresses of Sir Francis Knollys, she having married Mr. John Weldale, who was a butcher and publican at Bedford. Mr. Fritheis Wchh.le, who after wards took the *tame of Knollys, received the estates by ejectment and died in 1805, and upon his death the present defendant, , then about eighteen years of acre, claimed the estates a s so n o f M r John Weldale, a brother of Mr. Francis Weldale. The present claimant was admittel to be the sister of Mr. Francis Weldale, and the question there fore was, whether the defendant's lather, Mr. John Weldale, was or was not legitimate It was proved by a witness named Barker that he lived at Bedford, and knew the family of the Weldales, and went. to school with Mr. Francis and Mr. Jilin Weldale, and he recollected about that timo having fre quently heard both Mr. Francis Weldale and his father cull Mr. John Weldale a bastard; and the boys at the school had a notion that John Weldale was a " chance child," and that his mother was Sus innah Barker, who had been a servant at his father's, and whoin he had married within a year after the death of his former wife, Miss Mayes. Verdict for the defendant. Lord ABINGER-With respect to the circumstance of calling the defendat.t's father a bastard, I remember when I was a boy, Lord Grey would sometimes dr;ve me home from school in a gig, and if a boy yeas in his way in the road he . would give him a cut, and say, '" Get oat of the way, you little bastard," which was no proof that Lilo boy was a bastard.

We only wonder they did sot see the expediency of the policy earlier, and were evally astonished at the readiness with which their demands were c,sinplied with. Both parties were wrong, and they now perceive and feel it. The mei chants in this market been so long accustomed to compel acquiescence in their arbitrary mode of conducting business that it has led them into a grievous errcr. The London Itstporters are wiser in their generation, and not being able, at their dictum, to control the buyers, or starve them into submit ion, have grl the example of lower prices, which must, sooner or tat, r, be followed in Bristol; and we think, the sooner the better, for their own interests. The arrivals of Sugar are very large, and the Stocks increasing re.. pidly ; it is all tending one way.—Bristel Gazeue. MR. TURTON.—I3ut the grand outcry against the appointment is founds d on Mr. Turten's divorce from Ills wife, at the suit of the latter, whose sister he seduced. Of course we shall not attempt to palliate Mr. Turton's offence; but we loathe the hypocrisy of the mon who, in the case of that gentleman, would snake private immorality the ground of exclusion from public employment; when it is perfectly notorious that their own leaders—the most, able and dis tinguished men in their party (it is useless to specify by name several Mt mbers of the Peel Cab inet ) —wo uld, on the same rule, be incapabl e of re-enteritet any administration. The very subordinate office of second Secretary to Lord Durham must be filled by a person of un blemished private morality; but it matte rs not who may be the keeper of the Queen's conscience, or Foreign Secretary, or President of the Board of Control, or Speaker of the noose of Commons: Verily, the Tories are not the mess to be fastidious on the score of adultery and seduction.—lluil Paper.
